    Who's attending tomorrow? Meeting at Roberts Lake in Seaside to grab a burrito at 6:30 before we head over to “Legends”. Roach Coach parks there, I get burritos all the time from Martha. The fairgrounds is a mile and a half from where we’re meeting at by the lake. The purple mark on the photo is where we will be.

    You can buy all four Mikuni carburetors brand new off of eBay for less than $550 delivered, the little rubber boots that mounts to the M10 intakes cost $25 apiece, throttle cable, I think it’s around $150.

    Years of racing circle track dating back to 1997 with these carburetors made my decision to go this route.

    I tried flat slides on one of my race cars back in 2001, a Toyota 3TC, could not get them to work. Several guys at Meridian Speedway in Idaho tried on different motor combo's (Ford Pinto, Honda, Datsun & Toyota) with no luck. They all switched, or went back to the 44mm Mikuni round slides.

    Has anyone else successfully installed motorcycle carbs on there M10 or S14? I just surpassed the 51,000-mile mark with the 44mm Mikuni VM-series round slides on my S14. I recall seeing a few post about guys attempting to install the Yamaha R1 motorcycle carbs, another post using a set of CV carburetor used on Harley's. Checking see if they ever made any progress with their build?

    It took me 1-1/2 hours yesterday to burp my radiator and get the air pockets out. This check valve at the top of the cross over helps. I have a slight angle in my driveway, I jacked up the right front corner, left the radiator cap off, check valve open, and let it idle until it stopped spitting.

    I'm a little over 50,000-miles since installing the Corvette master cylinder/modified "bell crank", no complaints, the brakes feel like the cars I used to race.

    No news, not gonna pursue it, did not seem like much interest in the event.

    U.S.S. Hornet, GREAT location for a car gathering, looking forward to the upcoming event there on the 21st of this month.

    I'm not sure of Steve's last name, red Tii, can some one give me a number to contact him?
  21. Doug Riparetti
    I would like to take over, promote it and move it to a San Benito/Monterey County drive if the tradition is being abandoned by Steve.

    Will there be a "2021" Bay Area Shamrock Rally? A day/drive that I always look forward to.

    With 7600-miles on the new Evo head, it was time to run the valves. I gave the machine shop a spreadsheet when he assembled the head so he could document each shim per valve, that way I had a baseline to work with on the next valve adjustment. Makes things go MUCH faster this way. The 2nd spreadsheet is for my next adjustment. I thought to share a photo of the plugs too, they were new when I replaced the head. My buddy thinks it's a little rich, I told him that it may be from the octane boost I've been running for the last two tanks. He wants to see the percaline a bit more grayer.

    That’s how my set-up is done.
